He said the cooking team is pulling out all the stops, including launching a new sandwich. The Elvis Presleyis a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich.

"You're going to have to be really coming up with something to beat us. We are the truck to beat, it's pretty obvious," Mah jeered.

"I've done a little bit of bribing today, too."

"Our Southern-style food is different flavours than what Saskatoon's used to. We're pretty excited to bring it and let them see what we have. We're taking home that plate," Mullie said.
